Sutra 9
Shabdgyaan anupaati vastushoonyo vikalpah
Sage Patanjali describes vikalp as the modification of mind which has its roots in words and meanings, having no bearing to a concrete experience or tangible object. Experience is the basis of yoga, for that alone is real for you. Words and meanings, all that you read or learn or hear fades away, what stays with you is what has been your experience, that is what guides you and makes you grow.
